There Is A Special Angel
There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn’t very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love.

A Parents Prayer
When a child is apart,
Even for a little while,
A parent says a prayer.
We ask the Lord to protect,
To be where we cannot be,
To go where we cannot go.
In Him we place our trust,
For He sees, He knows.
Though how your heart must break,
Parted for now from your little one,
Know that the Lord keeps your little one safe,
With Him, where we all belong.
He will keep your child in a loving embrace,
Just as He keeps you, a child, too.
That is His answer to a parent’s prayer,
That is His love,
Forever, everywhere.

Then the Child
Then the child opened its eyes, and looked up into the angel’s beautiful face,
Which beamed with happiness, and at the same moment they were in heaven,
Where joy and bliss reigned.
The child received wings like the other angel,
And they flew about together, hand in hand.

More Beautiful and Heartfelt Funeral Poems for A Child
As I Sit in Heaven
As I sit in heaven
and watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear you when you’re laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you while you weep
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs
So you know you are not alone
Don’t feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You’ll be taking one for me

For You
Eyes that twinkle sunshine
A face that breaks your heart
That special look of innocence
Remains while we’re apart.
We had you for a short while,
But you brought so many joys,
Now play in peace our baby,
Enjoy your angel toys.
Time will bring us comfort
While waiting for the day
When we will be together again
Not just a whisper away.

A Child Loaned
I will lend you, for a little time,
A child of mine, He said.
For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief.
You’ll have his lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over,
In search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come
To take him home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
‘Dear Lord, Thy will be done!’
For all the joys Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
We’ll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him,
Much sooner than we’ve planned.
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing
When you look at the sky at night.

While Waiting for Thee
Don’t weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I’ve a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I’ll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I’m waiting for thee.
The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,
after the winter, the spring,
after the shower, the rainbow,
for life is a changeable thing.
After the night, the morning,
bidding all darkness cease,
after life’s cares and sorrows,
the comfort and sweetness of peace.

Little Snowdrops
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Heavenly Home
Our darling has gone to the angels above
Where there’s nothing but
happiness, joy and love.
Gone from this world, so full of strife,
Back to the God who gave her life.
But rejoice that God chose
our sweet flower for His own,
And has taken her back to His Heavenly home.
